I'll admit up front, I have a love-hate relationship with beef short ribs. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE to eat them. There isn't a rich, more beefy-tasting cut of beef out there. However, I'd rather someone else cook them for me. When it comes to smoking beef short ribs, we are talking a long commitme...

Learning how to grill skirt steak is easiest on a charcoal grill, where you can get the grate really close to an extremely hot fire. This great cut of meat is usually really think, so the key is to grill it quickly over a really hot fire. It is really hard for me to pick my "favorite" steak but if y...

I'm a big fan of messy foods. Give me a poncho, a pack of wet-naps, a judge-free zone, a pile of messy chicken wings and I'm a happy man. On the rare occasion though, I like to go sauceless and instead opt to throw together a simple dry rub for my grilled chicken wings. This simple dry rub gives ...

Kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper, medium rare...no need to over-think this one. You bought this delicious hunk of meat, now your job is to not screw it up! Rib eye steaks are a pretty forgiving cut of meat, believe it or not. The fat marbling contained in a ribeye steak makes for a ve...

Updates for 2017: Grilled pork tenderloin continues to be a favorite with my family so I have a lot of these under my belt at this point. Updating this recipe to reflect my new recommendation for doneness temperature. I prefer to remove the meat from the grill once the internal temp...

Fortunately grilling corn is easy, and keeps your kitchen clean! When cooking ears of corn on the grill you have several options, but if you want to reproduce that street fair flavor, you have to cook it in the husk.

I had the chance to review the Thermoworks ThermaQ WIFI a few weeks back. I forgot to mention that buried deeper in my box of goodies was a Thermoworks Smoke remote meat thermometer as well! Two remote thermometers? What’s the difference and why do I need two? I have now run both through a few…

I like meat, delicious animal protein. I’m immediately skeptical when someone tries to sell me on a substitute with “you can’t even tell the difference”. I’m not a big fan of veggie burgers at all. I greeted the Beyond Meat Beast Burger with the same healthy does of “whatever” that I have given all of…
